Please forget about that Trader Joe&#39;s endorsement and get your butt on the big screen. The ignorant masses need your common-sense, concise, and laid back approach to cooking. Thanks for all your recipes. You are my first reference source when I make up my grocery list.

In my horribly sleep deprived (and slightly delirious) state of mind, I sat thinking &quot;why would anyone use pesticides to grow bread?&quot; Though in my defense, I have been awake for roughly 72 hrs and was on the site watching your videos as sort of a guilty-piney, pleasurably way of winding down before finally getting a chance to go to bed.<br /><br />Anyways, although I love Trader Joes, Jewel Osco&#39;s sale prices are a little more friendlier to your average college student such as myself.
